ae Shado is a hollow typeface with a large letterform casting shadow. Shadows create a sense of depth and dimension, making your text appear to pop off the screen. Created by font designer Nadim Shaikli and introduced under the Arabeyes and Future Soft Egypt in 2017, this font showcases well-aligned letters, evoking a symmetrical aesthetic. Its design leans towards modern display fonts rather than traditional calligraphy, reflecting a departure from classical Arabic scripts. With 476 letters and special signs, along with 456 glyphs, it offers extensive language support for seamless multilingual projects. Additionally, its compatibility spans various Unicode Blocks, including Basic Latin, Latin-1 Supplement, Latin Extended-A, and more, highlighting its versatility across different writing systems and languages.
It only comes in a single font weight, limiting its overall adaptability to achieve certain design goals in different projects. It is hollow or void from the inside, giving it a more modern look and ease of understanding screen appearance. The font is made of two solid lines that extend to make characters and give your text a modern vibe. The font is highly legible on screen due to its enlarged letterforms and contrasting shadow on the right side. The font lacks any intricate design details; however, due to its unusual stencil-like outlook, it is preferred to be used for short texts. ae Shado’s clean and minimalistic design can be used to grab attention and establish brand personality on website banners, social media posts, and posters/flyers for impactful results.
